January 2008 and here we are at Rolvenden field to set about a bit of gentle gardening or so the chief says - and then she produces all these hedging whips.

This quarter’s images mark the change in seasons from the bright colours of summer to Autumn decline and bonfire tidy-ups as the running season comes to an end. |
July 2007 Update Click on the photo to see all the photos in this collection A tremendous effort has been made by the Gardening Group to keep the railway looking lovely all summer despite the wet weather and the few numbers of willing helpers. Here, Brenda can be seen tending a flower bed at Tenterden Station. Just behind the fence there has been a bumper crop of tomatoes and at least four decent sized marrows, they, at least have enjoyed the wet weather!
As always, an appeal to anyone with 'Green Fingers' or an eagerness to become involved, please contact Veronica Hopker (Evenings) on 01303 862811.

The glory of the Kent and East Sussex Railway is its rural situation
with such variety in the landscape too. Trying to keep it rural
rather than “jungle” is a never ending task and we need
help. |

How
can you keep a garden continuing to look lovely - whether railway
or otherwise? The answer is ..... lots of hard work, much of it
humdrum. However if you like to see a place looking good, how about
coming to help us maintain the railways gardens? |

Northiam station sparkles in the sunshine in its new coats of paint,
however its beauty chiefly lies in its rural charm. Enter the Gardening
group whose aim is to enhance the beauty at this and the other station
on the line, whilst taming the excess of nature left to its own devices! |

The Autumn period on the railway is naturally a reflection of what
is going on in our own gardens. Its a time of pruning back and "reorganising" as flowers and fruits disappear and plants die back for the winter
period. These pictures were taken mainly at Northiam station but
reflect what has gone on elsewhere too. |
